I have a complete dash out of a 1964 mercury ( i think that it came out of a parklane) i have everything from the driver side door to the passenger side door -gauges-radio-ash tray-glove box-clock-i have it all it may not be as nice as a 59 impala dash but it is nice

 

Are you going to put it in your truck?

 

I like it, if you have the metal dash section the whole thing could be cut into the F1 dash if there is enough room on the left side.

 

no i am not going to put it into my truck-if i was i would LIKE to use the whole dash but just the instrument panel would look nice too BUT it would look nice in someone else's truck too

 

It would look really nice in my 51.

 

johnny, if you want it e-mail me at bob5740@verizon.net

 

Really nice dash. Would look great in the truck. I picked this dash up and planning on using on my Model A project, but I don't know if I can make it work. It's from a '49 Ford passenger car. We should start a thread of unusual dashes. I think they are so cool.

 

I hear ya! I love old gauge clusters and dashboards.


That Merc cluster would look good in a truck

Yes. Start that thread.

 

I've been going back and forth trying to come up with what I want to do about my gauges, I don't mind the stock gauges, but the fuel gauge isn't going to work with my sender, and who knows if the other gauges are going to work properly. I really don't like the aftermarket gauges for 51-52's. And I figure the truck is never going to be show quality, and with all the add on's of later year parts, it's not origina nor will it ever be. So why not cut out the 2 openings and install a different cluster? I keep looking for the perfect cluster, I like the 64 cluster, first I need to see if parts are still available for it!

 

I have a Mercury cluster just like the OP's, wanted to use it in my COE but because of it's size and shape I couldn't get it to work.
So I used a 49-50 Ford car dash, like above. Lot's of fab work involved, but I'm happy with the result.

 

that 49 ford car dash sure looks good,it maybe a lot of work but the final results are worth it

 

Saw this at a Goodguys show. I think he said it's a 56 Ford Fairlane dash in a 56 F100.

 

I think that's a 57 dash

 

Tinman, great minds think a like !! It came out really nice. Don't know if I can make mine work in the Model A, but I'll have to section it to make it narrower and that's just the beginning. We'll see. Great thread guys...keep it going.
